Bruce Blasts Politicians, Suggests Ways To Curb Inefficiencies


The senator representing Bayelsa East Senatorial District, Ben Murray Bruce, has listed 6 reasons why the Nigerian government need to come up with policies that would compel politicians to be responsible for the people.


In a series of tweets, the founder of Silverbird Group highlighted some of the reasons why most Nigerian politicians do not put in place the necessary social amenities that their people need to have a good life.

He also went ahead to proffer some of the things he think can be done to curb this inefficiencies. Read the tweets below:

Why do our elite behave this way? Why do we climb the ladder of success that was freely given to us & then remove it when we get to the top?

  1. We elites have lost our ability to empathize with poor Nigerians for the simple reason that many of us are not stake holders in Nigeria.
  2.   When we move about with armed policemen who block us from the common man and block the common man from us how can we empathize with them?
  3.  When our kids school abroad and we never bother to know where kids of our drivers and cooks go to school, how can we empathize with them?
  4.    When Govs are flown to Europe for headache and don’t patronize the general hospital in their state, how can they empathize with the masses?
  5.    We need policies that'll force our elite to become stakeholders in Nigeria. Only then would we empathize with what the masses go through.
  6.    The cycle of poverty will continue if we don’t build more schools for the poor with money we are using to build multi-billion state houses.

Meanwhile, the senator recently faulted the calls by some state governors to reduce the minimum wage of N18,000 downward. He advised state governors against contemplating with the move which according to him is unjustifiable.

As a part of a WNBA.com offseason series, we’ll be taking a look at the seasons of all 12 teams in the league and touching on some of the top reasons to look forward to their 2016 WNBA campaigns. Youth and size is traditionally a successful combo for any basketball team, no matter what level. With building blocks like All-Stars Emma Meesseman and Stefanie Dolson in place, the Washington Mystics got a glimpse of what can be a bright future for the franchise in 2015. Meesseman, 22, and Dolson, 23, each enjoyed their best seasons in the WNBA yet. Both averaged over 10 points per game and finished with at least a block per content, and they combined for nearly 12 rebounds a night. The 6-foot-5 Meesseman also was second in the league in field-goal percentage at 55.6 percent, while the 6-foot-4 Dolson added to her game by shooting 10-21 from 3-point range on the season, after having not made any her rookie season. Stability has also been a key for the Mystics. Coach Mike Thi

Abakaliki Rice, Key To Ebonyi Agro Revolution

According to NewsWatch Times...... Having discovered Ebonyi State’s comparative cost advantage in the area of agriculture, the administration of Governor Martin Elechi is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that the sector takes the front seat in driving the economic development of the state. A lot of coordinated programmes have been put in place to consolidate the foundation laid by the previous administration of Dr. Sam Egwu, himself an agriculturist, to take advantage of the natural resources such as arable land, and ensure that Ebonyi remains one of the food baskets of the nation. The name Abakaliki is synonymous with rice production. That is why the phrase “Abakaliki Rice” is fast gaining popularity. The old image of a city with guinea worm infestation is fast receding to oblivion. Abakaliki, long before the creation of Ebonyi State in 1996, had gained prominence as the city with the highest concentration of rice mills in West Africa. The Abakaliki Rice Mill complex
